Boyzone plan to sing at Gately funeral

Boyzone are reportedly planning to sing as their bandmate Stephen Gately is laid to rest in Dublin tomorrow.

Details of their performance will be discussed with Gately's family and partner Andy Cowles today, according to the Daily Record.

A source said that Ronan Keating, Shane Lynch, Keith Duffy and Mikey Graham would be doing what Gately "would have wanted".

The band are due to accompany the singer's body back from Majorca today before holding an overnight vigil ahead of the requiem mass. Elton John, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Westlife are among those expected to attend the service.

Gately was on holiday on the Spanish island when he died of natural causes last Saturday at the age of 33.
